I’m excited to share a podcast I have been working on with
David Skok, The Logic and CIGI called Big Tech. The goal is to have longform conversations about tech, society and democracy from a combined journalist (Dave) & academic (me) perspective. For each episode, I am also writing a column exploring the topic we discussed. We have lined up a remarkable group of guests and can’t wait to share the conversations every two weeks.
